at last it seems IMOC are getting a few people together rather than just dribs and drabs going there
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
But Si, you actually have to buy a tkt to do lots of laps rather than just saying you will buy a JahresKarte
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
And taking the Mk1 was supposed to be a way of doing lots of laps without worries of expensive car damage
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- save weight, leave the garage at home, forget photographing mice and just get out there and do the damn laps
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Other wise, like some of you colleagues, it continues to be a mystery place that you circulate because you do not do enough laps to remember which way it goes
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
And for gods sake a slight noise/deviation by the car is not a dodgy moment requiring easing off for the whole lap
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
The Ring is a place to be enjoyed not feared resulting in paralysis
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- a place to lap unlike any other track
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- uk trackdays are no preparation and should be avoided if try to ready yourself for the Ring
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
You are NOT goping to be a boy or girl racer there so do not need to know the limit of grip/performance/saving a spin because you are NOT going to be pushing that hard
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
What gives familiarity/comfort/confidence is lap after lap after lap
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- looking for the smooth lap
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- right line and right gear
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
And do not go there to move over every time a car/bike approaches
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
On the road in the UK, if feeling unsafe to change line when being approached from behind by another vehicle then you sould not do so, same at the Ring, hold your line, get through that bend then move over on the straight
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- you have to be a bit selfish to LEARN AND ENJOY the Ring
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
One reason why some people are moving over so much is that they are going tooo slow! A decent pace is not going to put you at risk if you drive within your limit/knowledge/vision
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- drive sensibly as you would drive an unfamiliar road in the UK
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- but NOT at a dangerously slow pace
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
If you are going to avoid holding up anyone approaching from behind and are never going to look for a the right line through the bends at a normal speed then drive on the right ALL the time.
